Kali Bari Mandi

Kali Bari Mandir delhi is dedicated to Goddess Kali. It is relatively small in size and quite unpretentious in its design. This temple holds special significance for the Bengali people residing in the city, especially at the time of Durga Puja, held in the month of October-November every year. During that time, the temple becomes the center for celebrations and is flooded by devotees of all ages, in large numbers. A massive Peepal tree grows inside the temple and is considered to be quite sacred. The peepal is considered sanctified by the Hindus and red threads are tied around the circumference when pleading a boon.

Devotees coming to the Kali Bari Mandir tie a red thread around the bark of the tree while making a wish. If the wish gets fulfilled, they come back to the temple to untie the thread. An amazing fact about the temple is that here, liquor is offered to the Goddess.

Situated near the Lakshmi Narayan Mandir, the Kali Bari Mandir is also visited by the North Indians staying in the capital city. Though not ostentatious like the numerous other temples in Delhi, it still attracts devotees from far and wide.
